+With this script you can install a LaTeX font family
+(Postscript Type1, Truetype, Opentype). It supports
+font series from light to ultra bold + (faked) small caps
++ faked slanted, but no expert fonts. The script will
+rename the fonts automatically (optinal) or will otherwise
+expect *.afm files and the font files (in Postscript
+Type1 format!) named in the Karl Berry scheme
+(e.g. 5nar8a.pfb). After running the script, you should
+have a working font installation in your local TeX tree.
